Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 22, Elsi/t Application filed April 1, 1914. Serial No.823,808.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, RUFUS V. EAToN and OLLIEU. CHAMBERS, citizens of the United States, residing at -Emmett, in thecounty of Canyon and State of Idaho, have invented a new and usefulRegistering Apparatus, of which the following is a specificat] on.

The present invention relates to improvements in registering apparatus,the said apparatus being especially adapted for use in connection withindicating the amounts earned by a single barbers chair, one object ofthe invention, being the provision of means for retaining and exhibitingthe usual customers checks or tablets, such tablets being so displayedas to indicate at a glance, the amount earned in each denomination sothat at the end of the day, the aggregate amount for each chair may bereadily ascertained without thenecessity of counting the checks ortablets removed from the various mechanisms.

A further object of the present invention is the provision of anornamental and useful device of this character which in addition toproviding a registering mechanism also acts as a holder for the'variousinstruments, such as razors, scissors and the like used by a barber.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as thedescription of the invention proceeds, the invention re sides in thecombination and arrangement of parts and in the details of constructionhereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes inthe precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be madewithin the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit ofthe invention.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the completeapparatus. Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view through one registeringreceptacle thereof. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of a portion ofthe check retaining strip. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line H of Fig.1.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the back wall, 2 theintermediate wall, and 3 the end walls, the forward ends of whichproject forwardly beyond the intermediate wall 2 to constitute a supportfor the glass partition 15, said partition 15 being provided with aplurality of transparand each column ent strips 16, the presentlyappear.

The casing formed between the walls or partitions l and 2 are dividedinto the respective compartments 4 and 6, each of which contains itsrespective removable razor receiving racks 5 and 7. The intermediateportion is provided with the receptacles 8 for their various articles,as the honor, tweezers and other instruments used by the barber.

Between the partition 2 and the glass plate 15, in the present instance,are provided the vertical compartments 9, 10, ll, 12, 13 and 14, whichprovide as indicated, the fifteen cent, twenty cent, twenty-five cent,thirty-five cent, forty cent and fifty ccnt' columns for containing therespective checks or tablets T, the lowermost one of which is visibleand projects below the lower edge of the plate 15, in ready access tothe barber, the lowermost one being removed being filled from the top.The columns are of such shape, that the circular disks or tablets T willassume the position as clearly shown in Fig. 2, so that the forward edgewill be tilted to be projected at the proper time below the lower edgeof the plate 15 and adjacent the linger recesses 19 of the bottom plate18.

Each column as indicated in Fig. l is divided into the transparent checkexhibiting portion 16 and the registering portion 17, the portion 17being so partitioned or divided as to exhibit a number which will alinewith the check within the column adjacent thereto, such alinement checkindicating at a glance the amount earned in each respective column. Thusin the fifteen cent column, as indicated, $2.25 has been earned, whilein the twenty cent column, $8.40 has been earned and so on, throughoutthe series, the fifty cent column being filled, n o checks having beenremoved therefrom. It will thus be seen that at the end of the day, thatthe barber or his employee may at a glance of each respective columnascertain exactly what the chair has earned, as the highest check ineach column will indipurpose or which will cate the exact amount earnedby the chair as particularly described.

\Vhat is claimed is:

1. A device of the character described, including a casing having aplurality of vertical open ended receptacles, the trans 2 open endedreceptacles, one to each transposition of the verse width of which isgreater than the horizontal depth, each receptacle being adapted toreceive a plurality of circular disks, the diameter being slightly lessthan the transverse width of the receptacle whereby the rear edge of thedisk is held higher than the front edge, the lower front end of eachreceptacle having a disk directing slot by means of which the front edgeof the lowermost disk is accessible therethrough to be removed one at atime, and a permanent record strip adjacent each receptacle and carryingone digit for each disk, and whereby a record of the number of diskswithdrawn is indicated by the uppermost disk in each receptacle. I 2. Adevice of the character described, including a casing having a portionof its front transparent, a plurality of vertical parent portion of thefront formed in the casing, the transverse width of each receptaclebeing greater than its horizontal depth, each receptacle being adaptedto receive a pllurality of circular disks of substantially t e theeceptacle visible through the transparent portion of the front, thelower front end of each receptacle havingadisk directing slot by meansof which one disk at a time may be removed from the receptacle, and apermanent record strip adjacent each iame. diameter as the transversewidth of transparent portion of the receptacle and circular disks ofgreater diameter than the horizontal depth of the receptacle, the lowerfront end of said receptacle being provided with a disk directing slotby means of which one disk at a time may be removed from the receptacle,and a permanent record strip adjacent the transparent portion of thereceptacle and carrying one digit for each disk, whereby a record of thenumber of disks withdrawn from the receptacle is indicated by theuppermost disk in the receptacle.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own, we have heretoafiixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
